This week James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo's
documentary "So Goes The Nation" opens in New York City (tomorrow) and on Friday
in Ohio, and elsewhere in the coming weeks. The film is about the
battleground midwestern state in America in the wake of the 2004 presidential
election. Ohio is a huge decider and is roughly split between Republican
and Democratic voters. The trailer shows some passionate and rabid
volunteer workers on both the Kerry and Bush campaigns.
The film features some of the names of those in the political spotlight: Terry
McAuliffe, Ken Mehlman, George W. Bush and John Kerry, among others. The
film is also expected to open in Dayton, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Atlanta
and Honolulu. Hopes are that it will also expand to other cities such as
Miami, San Francisco, Detroit, Minneapolis, among others.

stop the Bush onslaught.
